Shout out to Sara, Steve, and Barry from across the pond! They shared a video of their 9.94 second Mustang GT drag car sporting the latest Chippernut Shift Light prominently displayed.

From Sara, Steve, Baz with the Gecko Drag Race Team: "We are now very happy with the fast xfi 2.0 ECU now pushing the 4.6 litre (as we brits measure the engine)  2 valve modular v8 ford mustang gt with a 5 speed manual tko gearbox with face plated gears and the latest chippernut shift light into the nines.   9.94 seconds is the PB so far!

People can follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.  Thanks for sharing!!

We're excited to announce a new product that will create opportunities to develop new ideas and inventions; the ChipperKit development pack. Now, you might be thinking, "Oh great, another Arduino Nano development board." Well, you're right. Except this one comes with something no other development board has; a perfectly fitted, water-resistant enclosure and a whopping 1.5A (5V) integrated power supply.  You'll have plenty of space and power to make basically anything. This kit also features a neatly labeled circuit board, expansion holes, power regulation, and circuit protection. The prototyping holes (with 0.1in, 2.54mm spacing) are not all directly connected to the Arduino pins - meaning you can place components in any physical configuration. 

You can add buttons, encoders, sensors, displays, batteries, and more. The kit also comes with 25 proto-wires to get you started. We were able to put the Chippernut Shift Light circuitry on the development board with push-buttons as an example (see pictures above). The ChipperKit is immediately available for purchase in the store. Check it out!​

Chippernut has officially started it's amazon seller profile. We hope to add all our items to the Amazon ecosystem, available for Prime shipping, in the coming months. Check out our first product on Amazon today! The StarChip16 APA102 LED bar.

These.
Are.
Freaking.
Cool.

We're excited to announce the first addition to the StarChip family of LED products:  The StarChip16.  This teeny, tiny rigid LED bar is just over 1-1/2" inches long and crams 16 LEDs along that length.

They are modular, too!  So you can tile multiple of them together to make any length you require. 

Fully compatible with the Chippernut Shift light and other Arduino projects. They come with a 4-pin header and VHB tape for mounting. 

Check them out!!

Hi Everyone, 

Still here - I know I don't post very often. I'm trying to carve out time for blog posts, social media, marketing, and posting new items for sale. Here we have one such item that's been sitting on my desk for a few months. 

These 12" 4-Pin connectors make it easy to extend your shift light LEDs.  No more cutting and extending the wires manually! You can daisy-chain these together to mount your LED strip further away from your shift light controller.  

That's all for now. I'm still working on a promotional video for the shift light. Hopefully that can go out soon and I'll send out an email to everyone. 

Stay tuned!
